Design Features
Exclusive design features are what
make Avery Weigh-Tronix truck
scales #1 in the industry.
Composite concrete design
Only the top half (5”) of the deck is poured, allowing
the concrete to stay in compression. Tension forces are
handled by the high-strength steel structure below
the concrete. Fiber-mesh concrete is specified to
increase strength and resist cracking.
Factory welded studs bond the concrete
to the steel structure, eliminating
the need for costly and time-
consuming rebar.

High-strength steel construction
We source the highest quality structural
steel from within North America. Automated
continuous welding provides extra strength and no
weak spots.
Steel surface protection Environmental Shielding
A detailed surface preparation and coating process protects Environmental seals, stainless steel sheathed
the scale from the elements. Individual components are cable, surge protection, heavy-duty coatings and
shot-blasted, entire decks are sand-blasted and cleaned, rugged construction help Avery Weigh-Tronix
then primed with a high solids urethane primer and finished scales defend against Mother Nature’s worst.
with a tough, acrylic polyurethane top coat.
Low profile
Steel deck
14” height from baseplate to driving surface minimizes ramp cutaway
requirements. Higher profile for additional clearance is easily
accomplished with affordable base plate options.
No-bolt module connections
Simple hook & notch design allows quick, easy joining of
the modules. Overall scale length is easily increased by
adding modules.
